About this map

Bolen Pond and the headwaters of the Salkehatchie River dominate the central wetlands of this Barnwell County landscape. The area is characterized by small rural settlements and a network of family-named landmarks, reflecting a long history of local residency. Snelling sits at the southern edge, while the northern border captures the outskirts of Williston and Elko.

Genealogists can trace numerous family burial grounds throughout the countryside, including Bates Cem, Old Field Cem, and Woods Cem. The transition from historical agricultural patterns to modern infrastructure is evident near Barnwell, where the Barnwell Regional Airport sits adjacent to the meandering Long Branch stream. The intricate hydrography of the region is further marked by isolated water bodies like Craigs Pond and the winding course of Rosemary Cr.
